BROKEN LAWs.-It is easier to see
the harm done by anger or violence
than that produced by over-work or
over-indulgence. We know some of
the effects of deception or SANDER,
while we do not know what may
follow from an enfeebled physical
system. One thing, however, we do
know, that every broken law brings
itspenalty, notonlyto the transgress-
or, but through him to the world, and
the laws of our bodies form no eX-
ception. We often hear it said, 81
ought not to have gone out so thinly
clad" 81 ought not to have worked
SO protractedly, 81 ought not to
have eaten such and such things, or
at such and such times, and yet but
little shame is felt at confessions, and
but little, if any, reproach is incurred;
yet as soon as we know what to dO or
avoid, we incur actual guiltin taking
the opposite course. The very eX-
preston of the word Sought admits
this, although we use it again and
again with regard to physical trans
gressions without feeling disgraced,

How They Make Farmers in Denmark.

Young men are apprenticed to the
best farmers all over the kingdom
for two or three years, under the
oversight of the Royal agricultural
society. They work for good farmers
for one year rs learners, receiving a
small sum besides their board and
lodging. At the end of the year, the
appretice is removed to a farm in
another part of the kingdom, and
his third year is spent on a still diff
ferent farm in a district where a diff
ferent kind of agriculture is practiced.
The society gives each apprentice a
number of agricultural books at the
outset, which become his property
upon the completion of the three
years. The apprentices report to the
society at stated intervals, and from
these reports and other records where
they have worked, the society judges
of their progress and grants diplomas
accordingly. The young men thus
get a thorough knowledge of all
kinds of practical farming, but they
have to work for it, as they are at
hard labor from 8 a. M, except the
meal hours. The society has started
the system of apprenticing young
men in the best diaries for three
years. Nearly 1000 youth have thus
been educated and received diplomas.
The system has far outgrown the
society's control, and now nearly
every large farm and dairy has sew
eral apprentices accepted and traiEed
by private agreement.
